MeSmeriZing Lions.

A frightful scene has just taken place
at Dion. A mesmerist, Nj. Torcy. ac-
companied by his subject, catalept:c
young person named Mile. Lucia, en-
tered cage of lions in Signor Salva's
menagere. The animals seemed at
first quite stupefied on seeing strange
persons before them, but they soon be-
gan to show their molar broadsides
and to prepare for action. NJ. Torcy
lost no time, and having sent Mile.
Lucia into magnetic trance he told
her to fix her gaze on the beasts and to
place her arms before them, which she
did with perfect impunty. She was
then plunged into a cataleptic fit, her
body was stiffened. and her feet and legs
fastened to two stools. The animals,
goaded by the keepers and by vigorous
thrusts from NJ. Torcys sticks, were
made to jump several times over the
young woman's body. This inhuman
exercise was continued until the atl-
dience, wound up to the highest pitch
of terror and excitement. owing to the
ominous growl ng OF the infuriated
lions, cried out. "Enough!n The three
actors of this extraordinary scene were
loudly acclaimed by the spectators. -

The Trade in Human Hair.

The trade in human hair is once more
on the increase. and "artists in human
hair" keep sharp 10 kout for opportu-
mites to buy. France the leader of all
female fashions, is naturally the coun-
try where the largest trade in this ar
ticle is done. Whence the market is
supplied with hair of all colors has Of
ten been a matter Depreciation, which,
however, has never been satisfactorily
explained. A large quantity of black
hair comes from China, but it appears
that France herself provides a large
quantity. Formerly the peasant women
were often induced to part with their
long hair for few shillngs; In con-
vents, where the ha'r is always shorn.
a good trade was also done. and it is
stated that not long ago eight hundred
pounds of hair were sold at one of the
religious establishments for the sum of
$1,000. 1t also frequently happens that
the hair is cut from corpses. but this
is OF less value than what is generally
called Giving hair''-that is to say.
hair cut off from living persons. Curl
ously enough, an important part of
the business of collecting hair is done
in the streets of Paris, where the rag
gatherers are said to collect every day
an everage of 100 pounds of human
hair Some statistics which have re-
Gently been published on the different
colors of hair collected on the pave
ment and in the dust-bins of Paris show
the following results: Fair hair, 100.
grammes; reddish, so grammes; red. %
grammes; black, 100 grammes; brown,
80 grammes; gray, 200 grammes;
white, 20 gralnmes. II appears from
these figures that white and red hair
are rarest in Frances, While brown,
which, however, has great many diff
ferent shades, is the most common color
of hair. 1t is interesting to compare
these figures with those which Prof.
Virchow has published in Germany as
to the color of hair of school-children.
According to these, the three colors in
German schools are fair, light brown,
and dark brown, the comparative num-
bers being thus: Fair, 2,140, OPT;
dark brown, 1922; light brown, 81

property, which amounted to a large
sum, to the erection and maintenance
of tabernacle dedicated to spiritual

Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass:
sAbout the first or September, 1881, my wife
was taken with uterine hemorrhagc. The
best styptcs the physician could prescribe did
not check it and she got more and more en-
feebied. She was troubled with Prolapsus
Uteri, Leucorrhea, numbness Of the limbs,
sickness of the stomach and loss Of appetite.
/ purchased trial bottle of your Vegetable
compound. She said she could discover a salu.
tayy effect from the first dose. Now she is com
paratively free from the Prolapsus, Stomach's
sickness, &c. The hemorrhage is very much
better and is less at the regular periods. Her
appetite is restored, and her general health
and strength are much improved. We feel
that we have been wonderfully benefited and
our hearts are drawn out In gratitude for the
same and in sympathy for other sufferers,
for whose sakes we allow our names to be
used" CIV EATON, Thurston, N. Y.

Just as sure as this globe swings
around the sun q man in this world
makes the bed downy or thorny on
which he lies in the next. Voltaires
can blaspheme, Gibbonses write splen-

casms, Paines and Olmsteads deny the
facts which Justin Marty and others of

atheistic philosophy. Those will not

tinuity.-John w. OUeraIh IN NeW

The Berlin P0lica

The ordinary Berlin criminal attaches
himself to speciality, and rarely de-
parts from it, writes a correspondent
of the Paris journal des Debats. For
instance, pickpocket would no more
think of breaking into house than he
would of stealing linen from a garnet
or pilfering from cart. Crime being
thus concentrated. greater ability is
required on the part of the professional
thief. This calls for n corresponding
amount of cleverness in the police, and
accordingly specialists are employed.
One functionary will occupy him self
entirely with cases of hUuscpreaking,
another with theftS from furnished
apartments and night lodging houses,
third with swindlers and gamblers,
and n fourth with bullies. etc. The
same division has been followed to the
criminal album, which | was able to
examine, and which naturally is very
interesting. Its usefulness is proved in
this way: When q pers on comes to
complain of having been robbed he is
shown the photographs of thieves
specially addicted to the particular
form of robbery. 1t often hap
pens, however, that when the
individual who has been identified
from his photograph is arrested, the
prosecutor is unable to clearly recog-
nize him. Very curious is that portion
of the album devoted to the wretched
characters who live by extortion
(chantage) of whom there are no fewer
than thousand in Berlin. You see
there several photographs of beardless
youths who have appeared as fgurants
on the boards of the Berlin theaters.
The SerVice des mgurs is carried out
with extraordinary vigor in Berlin. The
unfortunates are hunted down and their
existence made intolerabie. All public
balls and cafes concerts must close at
midnight, and these women are hardly
permitted to frequent the Vienncse
cafes. Berlin has long had an evil re-
putation for the number of its DULLES;
but great many have been got rid OF
by putting into force the articles of the
penal code against procurations and ex-
Guiding such characters from certain
quarters of the town. Those who are
born in Berlin. or have their domcile
there. can not be expelled, but the
quarters where they have the right to
live can be restricted. The police
tolerate dozen or so of taverns and
restaurants the clients of which consist
, entirely of thieves, loose women, and
DULLES. These places, which are situ-
ated at the extremties of the town,
near.thc gates. do not call for special
remark. The police of safety at Berlin
employs rather large number of in
formers (vigilants), who are recruited
from the criminal classes.
